How To Make Brilliant Pom-Pom Bunnies

So why not practice making your own, and create these cute pom-pom bunnies? You could even make a whole family!

You Will Need:

Wool (any kind/colour)

Felt Scraps

Googly Eyes

Mini pom-poms (for the tail)

Craft Glue

Scissors

Method:

1. Use a plastic pom-pom maker if you have one (available in fabric shops and in some discount stores). If you don’t have one, the easiest way to make a pom-pom is to wrap wool around your hand until it’s quite thick, tie a length of wool tightly around the middle and then snip through the loops. Trim to shape.

2. Cut out features for the bunny from the felt scraps – two ears and a nose. You can add feet too if you like!

3. Glue the felt features and the eyes to the pom-pom.

4. Don’t forget to add a mini pom-pom to the back as a tail!

5. Experiment with different colours and types of wool for variety. Why not make a whole family?! You could also make different animals, both real and imaginary: Sheep? Heffalumps? Penguins? Nifflers?
